According to , action planning is based on anticipatory perceptual representations of action-effects. This aspect of action control has been investigated in studies using the response-effect compatibility (REC) paradigm, in which responses have been shown to be facilitated if ensuing perceptual effects share codes with the response based on dimensional overlap (i.e., REC). Additionally, according to the notion of ideomotor compatibility, certain response-effect (R-E) mappings will be stronger than others because some response features resemble the anticipated sensory response effects more strongly than others (e.g., since vocal responses usually produce auditory effects, an auditory stimulus should be anticipated in a stronger manner following vocal responses rather than following manual responses). Yet, systematic research on this matter is lacking. In the present study, two REC experiments aimed to explore the influence of R-E modality mappings. In Experiment 1, vocal number word responses produced visual effects on the screen (digits vs. number words; i.e., visual-symbolic vs. visual-verbal effect codes). The REC effect was only marginally larger for visual-verbal than for visual-symbolic effects. Using verbal effect codes in Experiment 2, we found that the REC effect was larger with auditory-verbal R-E mapping than with visual-verbal R-E mapping. Overall, the findings support the hypothesis of a role of R-E modality mappings in REC effects, suggesting both further evidence for ideomotor accounts as well as code-specific and modality-specific contributions to effect anticipation.
根据[相关理论]，动作规划基于对动作效果的预期感知表征。动作控制的这一方面已在使用反应-效果兼容性（REC）范式的研究中得到探讨，在该范式中，如果随后的感知效果基于维度重叠与反应共享编码（即REC），则反应会得到促进。此外，根据观念运动兼容性的概念，某些反应-效果（R-E）映射会比其他映射更强，因为一些反应特征比其他特征更强烈地类似于预期的感觉反应效果（例如，由于言语反应通常会产生听觉效果，所以在言语反应之后比在手动反应之后，应该更强烈地预期听觉刺激）。然而，在这个问题上缺乏系统的研究。在本研究中，两个REC实验旨在探索R-E模态映射的影响。在实验1中，言语数字词反应在屏幕上产生视觉效果（数字与数字词；即视觉符号与视觉言语效果编码）。视觉言语效果的REC效应仅略大于视觉符号效果。在实验2中使用言语效果编码，我们发现听觉-言语R-E映射的REC效应大于视觉-言语R-E映射。总体而言，研究结果支持R-E模态映射在REC效应中起作用的假设，这既为观念运动理论提供了进一步的证据，也表明了对效果预期的特定编码和特定模态的贡献。
